The document discusses cybersecurity for modern industrial systems. It outlines the history of control systems from early humans to modern technology. It notes current risks and threats that exploit weaknesses in these systems. The rapid growth of internet-connected devices poses challenges to ensuring stability. While virtually all cyber assets are vulnerable, cybersecurity expertise is in short supply. Achieving reliable safety requires standards, regulations, best practices, visibility of systems and sharing knowledge across industries and nations.

8. Path Forward
 Stability Requires Cybersecurity
• Standards, regulations and best practices
 Visibility is Control
• Know what you have, know what it does
 Sharing Knowledge is Power
• Industry, Nation, World

10. Visibility = Control

11. Knowledge is Power
 Knowledge of:
• What you have
• What it is doing
• What is happening around you
• What the threats are
• What the risks are
• What the costs are
• What others are doing

12. National Cybersecurity Infrastructure
• Cross Industry and Cross Sector Awareness
YM-CERT • Coordinates with other International Centers
- Incident Management
- Coordinated Response
Industries, Ministries - Best Practices

13. Knowledge Sharing Works
 Research-Educational Network
Information Sharing and Analysis
Center (REN-ISAC)
 Industrial Control System
Information Sharing and Analysis
Center (ICS-ISAC)
 Coordinated Detection and Defense

14. Summary
 Cybersecurity is Critical to National Stability
 Cybersecurity Knowledge is Power
 Cybersecurity Skills Provide Lifelong Careers
